Year32017

The children in year 3 have been studying the book The Tin Forest by Helen Ward and Wayne Anderson. In the book, an old man makes the world his world into a better place and we have been thinking about this during our theme. The children loved the book and building their own tin forest along the way…

Year 3 have been really busy preparing to create a Recount of the Tin Forest for our diversity project on making the world a better place. Work, work, work….

Today, the children in year 3 produced a stunning assembly depicting a baptismal service. It was beautiful. The children used great intonation and tone so their voices were heard and it was a learning experience for all the children. Well done guys.

Today, we investigated the length of shadows… We are starting to use our enquiry skills to the maximum.

The children in year 3 learnt their shared writing of a Recount of the Tin Forest. Here it is:

Today we enjoyed investigating how light travels. We learnt about how certain materials let light through them and some do not!

In our class book, we are reading the Tin Forest. In the story, an old man has an idea and builds a Tin forest and today in year 3 we built our own tin forest.

here they are afterwards.

The children in year 3 love maths games. These types of games have really helped themcomparing numbers.

The children in year 3 have been planting flowers and bulbs in their outdoor garden area to make the world a better place. Our hands were dirty afterwards though!

In year 3, we have been learning about place value. We are focusing on Hundreds, tens and units but also beginning to look at thousands! Here are some photos of us using place value counters to make hundreds.
